Problems solved by technology
The density of these solutions made by dissolving these salts in water is limited by the molecular weight and the solubility of that salt.
The acid content of these fluids give the brines undesirable characteristics, one of the greatest of which are high corrosion losses that limit the uses and applications of these fluids.

[0031]Brine solutions containing various amounts of soluble sodium carbonates or bicarbonates were prepared. These solutions were prepared by vigorously stirring a high-density brine solution to which had been added a powdered carbonate or bicarbonate. The resultant solution is purged with nitrogen to remove dissolved carbon dioxide gas. The resultant solutions were tested at 350° F. (177° C.) for 24 hours on N-80 tubing steel, as shown in Table I.

Abstract
It has been discovered that carbonate powders and bicarbonate powders are useful to increase the pH and corrosion resistance of high-density brines, such as zinc bromide brines, without significantly reducing their densities. The carbonates and / or bicarbonates should be water-soluble and may be sodium, potassium, magnesium and / or ammonium carbonates and / or bicarbonates and the like. The carbonates and / or bicarbonates are easily added in powder or other finely divided solid form and are completely dissolved in the brine prior to pumping the brine into a subterranean formation.
